2018.09.08 – Big Mama & Crepe Amelie

My brother woke me up at 8 in the morning to have some breakfast. Both of us have a hangover from the night before, but he had it worse than me and prepared breakfast, so I had to oblige. I got up, ate, and went back to sleep after because I was still so sleepy. […]

2018.09.07 – Good Earth Roasts (TCO Mini Reunion)

Friday night turned out to be a pleasant surprise with an unexpected mini-reunion of old TCO friends in one of my favorite bars in Manila. But first, Rico’s! Andrew invited Ron and myself to Diageo’s open bar, but he had to accompany Faye for a check-up, so we ended up taking a raincheck on the […]

2018.09.06 – Blog changes / Debbie’s 10th

So, an email arrived that made me think twice about this whole blogging thing on here. I have been “secretly” blogging over at LiveJournal every day for a month now because that was where I started a long, long time ago. Last night, I got an email from my hosting service billing me for the […]

2018.09.05 – ドライブ (Drive)

Wednesday was full of meetings. Like jampacked from morning until 5:30pm. I drove my car today to save money because seriously, Grab has been hard to book recently, unless you get the 6-seater or the premium one, which costs a lot! Yesterday, I spent almost 500 on Grab alone! I need to start saving up […]

2018.09.04 – Lechon, again and again!

I was initially planning on working from home this Tuesday but I’ve been enjoying working in the office since I moved roles, so I didn’t want to break the momentum and went to the office instead. I don’t regret it because I got to attend a lot of meetings and also had fun with friends. […]

2018.09.03 – Another sleepless Monday

Well, in the morning at least. I was not able to fall asleep from Sunday evening. I did get an hour and a half of shut-eye but my mind was all over the place. I went straight to the office after preparing lunch (leftover lechon paksiw) and worked away! I also outright violated my plan […]

2018.09.02 – Lechon, again v2

I woke up a bit late today because I slept past 5am already. I got out of bed very hungry at 2pm (I ate only once yesterday), and I wanted to eat something good. So yeah, lechon it is! Thank you Rico’s Lechon for coming to Manila! My recommended order in Rico’s are: 1) Spicy […]

2018.09.01 – Octopath Traveler

I finally gave into a temptation that I’ve tried to hold in for so long. I finally bought Octopath Traveler. I know, I have a ton of games on hold, but I don’t want to play them. Should I really stop myself from enjoying a new game, just because I cannot finish the rest of […]

2018.08.31 – No more drinking (please)

It has been a while since I went out on a Friday night, so I invited myself to the Expat Comp house party because I wanted to drink. Before the alcohol took over I can’t hold my alcohol well anymore. Not since I started Keto. The bad part is that my short-term amnesia when drunk […]

2018.08.30 – Byebye BC!

Today I said goodbye (well, sort of) to the Business Controls team whom I have worked closely with in the past 2 years in my previous role. If you didn’t know, I’ve changed roles effective August 1, but as part of the transition, we did a visit today for my last meeting with them (and […]
